The Athletic's Jovan Buha said in a Monday livestream (31:30 mark) that he's "heard nothing but" the Jazz wanting two first-round picks and a young player for Kessler. The Lakers have only one tradable first-round pick over the next seven years, and that selection can only come in 2031 or 2032, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

The Charlotte Hornets are trading center Jusuf Nurkic to Utah Jazz for guard Collin Sexton and a second-round draft pick in 2031, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Los Angeles Lakers fans are eager for Walker Kessler, but an insider reveals that a trade just isn't in the cards.
